Architectural Record's top 10 neighbors span blogs, magazines, websites, and news publishers — with no single standout pulling ahead of the pack. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; scores across the top 10 range only from 0.97 down to 0.95, a notably compressed band.
The shape is flat: DesignObserver leads at 0.97, followed by Creative Review (0.96), TAXI (0.96), Behance (0.96), and Design Milk (0.95) — but no single neighbor dominates. By subcategory, the top 10 breaks down as four magazines (Creative Review, Design Milk, Saveur, Bon Appétit), three websites (TAXI, Behance, Dezeen), two blogs (DesignObserver, Designboom), and one news publisher (Eater). The most structurally notable feature is the food-media presence: Saveur (0.95), Bon Appétit (0.95), and Eater (0.95) all sit alongside design-focused neighbors, suggesting the audience shape Architectural Record shares is not narrowly professional or trade-specific but extends into a broader creative-and-culinary media cluster. Architectural Record itself is a magazine, and four of its top 10 neighbors share that subcategory — but the remaining six span three other subcategories, confirming the audience is not simply drawn to other magazines.
The flat, compressed similarity band across this top 10 points to an audience with wide, evenly distributed overlap across design, food, and general creative media — rather than a tight niche defined by any single neighbor.
